The SeniorScore for Bend, Oregon



Bend, Oregon, has a SeniorScore of 71% from Senior Advisor, which rates communities for how friendly they are to seniors who live in them. The SeniorScore is calculated by comparing an area's statistics for factors such as Health & Safety, Finances and General Quality of Life. The national SeniorScore is 72%.

Bend's score is so close to the national average in part because of its good score for Health & Safety matters. The city has a higher-than-usual number of Medicare-approved medical providers and an abundance of hospital beds, and the residents of Bend have exceptionally good coverage from multiple fire stations and medical centers. Other factors that affect seniors' health include Bend's better-than-average air quality and the area's low violent crime rate. Bend also has a large number of open spaces where active seniors can spend the mild spring and fall afternoons. The city boasts 17 golf courses and 15 public parks.

Bend's SeniorScore is held back somewhat by financial matters. The local cost of living, for example, is higher than the national average. Taxes on earned income are high in Oregon, as is the local property tax. Income from Social Security, however, is not taxed in Oregon, and the state has no income tax, which helps seniors on fixed incomes manage the cost of living.
